Anyway, let's agree to say... just don't interpret what others do. And everything is fine.


Don't tell me what to think, your not the boss of me, I don't see a ring.

Anyway, lets agree to say... do not judge people and lets just have some fun.

Only creepy if freebirth women were wanted. I hear they only couple with one partner at a time. Disgusting.

Truth be told, there were similar reactions when I was looking for a woman to do the readings on the mech lore series that I was/am working on kinda on and off. There was a few reasons for wanting a female instructor-sounding authority.

1) A woman's voice commands attention. There's a reason that computers are generally female. There have been military studies on this, and the U.S. Air Force has proven that in situations of extreme stress (such as high G-forces, low oxygen, etc.) that a female voice had a much higher success rate of both getting information to the pilot as well as getting the pilot to perform tasks that would save his life in such situations (such as pulling up when barely even conscious) than male or simply sound-based messages (beeps, etc).
2) You don't hear so many female voices on youtube talking about video games. Even fewer that are role playing as a training instructor and giving you information about the Battlemechs that you would soon be piloting. And then, even fewer would have said training instructor chewing you out for things such as being tardy (I originally planned on doing a 3D animated training room with a 3D instructor).

Sadly, I went for half a year with only partial proposals that sadly did not take off. So I went with a male, British, and things have actually begun to take off. The first one should be done in time for Community Warfare's second to third phase.

(That said, for anyone here I can still use additional voices. There's a lot of mechs, and we've been thinking of doing a Battletech lore version and a Mechwarrior Online version as the two are entirely different things.)


Always been very keen on real equality and I find this thread interesting.

On the one hand I cannae help but have the kneejerk "ew creep" reaction but at the same time, like you said, there can be perfectly sensible and valid reasons for wanted femcoms...
Even if the wording was less than desirable, just makes me wonder how the reaction would be different if a woman posted something like this just asking for help for 3 male commanders.
I dont think itd be ridiculed nearly as much.

Ah well best of luck OP.

Oh it definitely wouldn't be ridiculed. In fact, I'm pretty sure some guys would offer their ID numbers, Social Security Numbers, net worth, and monthly income, plus all relevant tax records.

The Internet is definitely not a fair place.

That is a severe understatement. Some people get it far worse than others. XP

So many popcorn images... I guess this is one form of cheap entertainment. XD

It does not change the fact that this may have gotten a bit out of hand, though.
Perhaps we should try to be a tad more considerate?

...Or perhaps not. I do not even know what to make of this thread anymore. >w>

OP had a golden opportunity to clarify the whole thing back in page 1, but instead chose to explain him/her self over TS, instead of right then and there. If people are having reservations about something you posted, don't ask them to join you on a TS3 server to explain it to them. Just do it right then and there.

Its a thematic ,strategic, as well as social decision...which I'd be quite willing to discuss on a teamspeak3 channel if you wish.


This was the point where it could have turned positive/ended quickly. Instead this thread is dragging on.

Look, the fact of the matter is that equality IS important. As Glory said, its hard enough for women in the gaming world. This type of post (at least worded the way it was and defended as poorly as it was) does absolutely NOTHING to make this a welcoming environment for female mechwarriors.

Frankly, with all of the positive changes lately I believe it is our duty as a community to make people (male, female, whatever) want to play this game. The more the community grows the more effective matchmaker can be, more game modes can be added, and more development can happen.
